| 1约纳因此很不高兴，遂发起怒来。 | 1And Jonas was exceedingly troubled, and was angry: |
| 2他恳求天主说：「上主，当我还在故乡时，我岂不是已想到这事？所以，我预先要逃往塔尔史士去，因为我知道你是慈悲的，宽仁的天主；是缓于发怒，富于慈爱，怜悯而不愿降灾祸的天主。 | 2And he prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, is not this what I said, when I was yet in my own country? therefore I went before to flee into Tharsis: for I know that thou art a gracious and merciful God, patient, and of much compassion, and easy to forgive evil. |
| 3上主，现在，求你从我身上收去我的性命，因为，我死了比活着还好！」 | 3And now, O Lord, I beseech thee take my life from me: for it is better for me to die than to live. |
| 4上主说：「你的忿怒合理吗？」 | 4And the Lord said: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry? |
| 5约纳出了城，坐在城东，在那里为自己搭了一个棚，坐在棚荫下，要看看那城究竟要发生什么事。 | 5Then Jonas went out of the city, and sat toward the east side of the city: and he made himself a booth there, and he sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would befall the city. |
| 6上主天主安排了一株蓖麻，使它长的高过约纳，为他的头遮荫，消除他的烦恼。约纳很喜爱这株蓖麻。 | 6And the Lord God prepared an ivy, and it came up over the head of Jonas, to be a shadow over his head, and to cover him (for he was fatigued), and Jonas was exceeding glad of the ivy. |
| 7但第二天曙光升起时，天主安排了一个虫子咬死蓖麻，蓖麻便枯萎了。 | 7But God prepared a worm, when the morning arose on the following day: and it struck the ivy and it withered. |
| 8当太阳升起时，天主又安排了炎热的东风，太阳射在约纳头上，使他无法忍受，遂要求死去，说：「我死了比活着还好！」 | 8And when the sun was risen, the Lord commanded a hot and burning wind: and the sun beat upon the head of Jonas, and he broiled with the heat: and he desired for his soul that he might die, and said: It is better for me to die than to live. |
| 9天主向约纳说：「你为这株蓖麻发怒合理吗？」他回答说：「我发怒以至于死，是合理的！」 | 9And the Lord said to Jonas: Dost thou think thou hast reason to be angry, for the ivy? And he said: I am angry with reason even unto death. |
| 10上主说：「你为这株蓖麻，并没有劳过力，也没有使它生长，还怜惜它：它不过是一夜生出，一夜死去的植物； | 10And the Lord said: Thou art grieved for the ivy, for which thou hast not laboured, nor made it to grow, which in one night came up, and in one night perished. |
| 11对尼尼微这座大城，其中有十二万多不能分辨自己左右手的人，且有许多牲畜，我就不该怜惜他们么？」 | 11And shall not I spare Ninive, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons that know not how to distinguish between their right hand and their left, and many beasts? |
